Bug#426117: exim4: unable to connect /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl, but /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl exists

[Axel Ludszuweit]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.63-17
Severity: normal


Hello community,

I have the below described behaviour on my Debian testing 
installation.
I use the exim4 mail packet with the clamd virus scanner,
spam assassin and fetchmail.
After booting I get the following messages in
file /var/log/exim4/paniclog:

2007-05-26 13:34:29 1HruXU-0001pP-Il malware acl condition: clamd:
unable to connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ct
l (No such file or directory)

unable to connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ct
l (No such file or directory)

But 
axel at graf-zahl:~$ ls -l /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
srwxrwxrwx 1 clamav clamav 0 2007-05-26 13:34 /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl

shows, that the missing socket exists. I can receive and transmit mails.
This behaviour began, without any modifying of configuration after a
update
made by synaptic.
I have modified the clamd start script, so that after starting the
script
waits until the socket exists. But the same behaviour as before.
I hope, the error is not the user.
